    The game was very secondary to them. It was like they had a few stats in front of them and made conclusions. Mussburger (sp?) talked about how Yao "only got 9 shots" and Van Gundy has to fix that. Well Yao also has 14 free throw attempts.

    That and the 20-minute open debate in the first half on high school players entering the league.

    His shooting touch is wayyyyyyyyyyyy off tonight. It's almost like he went thru an intense workout with the bench press before playing.

    very dismal performance very dull game.

    Well actually pretty entertaining. We almost came back once again..just couldn't.

    Hmm seems to me like Twolves have mental breakdowns..not very good at handlign the press tonight.

    Ryan Bowen good job to him.

    Tmac just way off..

    Oh well. Let's get back to being a great team

    You forgot to mention what they said after mentioning Tmac going 4-22 from the floor. That will cause a mini riot on the board tonight.

    Lol, Is this some pathetic attempt to belittle me?

    I never said anything against you or anyone in here.....I was just simply venting.

    It's too bad that you weren't able to take my message for face value and then trying to ridicule what i said.

    idiot.

    Mike James somehow reminds me of JJ. He has 11 shots, 2nd most for the entire team!! And he only plays 15 minutes!!!! You want to be efficient coming off bench. Don't be like JJ now......:mad:

    Again, I can't emphasize this enough, T-Mac is f*ing struggling right now.

    Who the f* was that idiot that said T-Mac is the "most selfish player ever"? THE WHOLE F*ING TEAM IS STRUGGLING IN SHOOTING THE BALL! YAO HAS BEEN OUT FOR A GOOD STRETCH OF THE GAME! HE IS TRYING TO BRING US BACK, AND GET HIMSELF OUT OF THE FUNK!

    What the hell is wrong with you people?!!:mad: :mad: F*ing fair-weather fans!:rolleyes:

    A guy struggles for a few games in a row (I didn't hear anyone say he was selfish when he was shooting 53% during the winning stretch and still taking up a bunhc of shots) and yo uguys turn on him?

    Well, I guess I always knew this was the case for some of you s-called fans.

    Where is JVG? PLEASE bring back Steve-O, he will surely do better:rolleyes:

    I just hope you get the hell away from the board! Man you are one annoying dude!

    Yes, give 10 more shots to Yao, so he can average 20 shots a game, while the great Shaq himself averages 14:rolleyes:

    Anyway, if TMac shoots the ball like this, and our perimeter guys not knocking down the shots (MJ and Wesley), we are just a bad team for sure (especially if we don't play any defense).

    James is capable of scoring and I think we should allow him to score more. He is fast to get the ball down the court. We need to go back to winning ways and playing highly efficient and productive and successful basketball.

    Each player on our team is important to our success.

    Yao and Tmac. Howard..Wesley and Sura. James Barry and Mutombo. Padgett and Bowen. THey all have to do at least okay. :/

    I agree Tmac is struggling. Not pleasant to see. Game's over on to the next.

    And I don't think y'all should fight..peace

    We outrebounded the Twolves and we got more offensive rebounds as well, surprisingly.

    I don't understand why we don't go to the full court press more often. We certainly have the personnel for it.

    are u even watching the game? his shot was way off but he was making things happen when he started posting up. his pass from the post to james is what cut the lead to 9, then he got to the line for 2 freethrows when he posted up the next possession.

    true man but if Suns don't make shots then they're nothing. Same with any other team..

    I'm sorry for repeating this for like the 4th time. But we need to go back to playin gwith confidence and energy and intensity and passion..we do and we have been tyring to come back. But we need to execute and run our system with excellence. FOR ENTIRE GAMES! Ball movement..maybe that has to do with Juwan being out..I don't know. :/ It's good that we are tryign to win..we just can't..for 2 gmaes. I dont' think we can beat the Heat playing like this.

    But we'll recover from this struggle soon.

    I still feel like we can be contenders. Just two bad games in a row where we tried to come back but just couldn't.

    What the fuc8ing are you talking about? I am just venting out my anger. What did I say wrong to allocate 10 of Tmac's 22 shots to Yao? Do not assume you have more rights to throw crap due to a bad rockets game. If you cannot understand others, just shut up and go away! You are the most annoying one!!!
